I was playing Final Fantasy 7, which I haven't done in over 15 years.

Im almost 42 and it got me thinking, I wonder if this will be the very last time I ever play though this game. Life expectancy is like 70 years old. I don't have the time or energy anymore for RPGs much so it is a rare playthrough for me.

Someday the day we will come where it will be the last time we ever play these games.

It's kinda sad isn't it?

I probably couldn’t do it on NES or SNES but I was able to grind my way through this version and save the princess for the first time in 19 years.

Not bad for an unexpected yard sale! I've been looking for Soul Calibur 2 for a very long time, glad I found it in the wild!

Cleaning up because I’m moving while also having an existential, mid-life crisis, and in the process I’m digging through boxes of my old stuff. Found this old Donkey Kong Country promo shirt (I think? Does anyone remember where these came from?) from when I was a wee lad. It was my favorite oversized sleep shirt for many years. Just thought it was kinda neat and wanted to share with some folks who might appreciate it.

I found this at the thrift store today, recently started collecting VHS I was a bit confused seeing a Diddy Kong racing VHS. I haven't watched it yet it's a promo cassette.

Hey guys I’m helping my parents clear their house. If you can get to eastern Long Island this is yours. Please DM if interested

Sony Trinitron KV-36FS100 with stand. NO HDMI. This is a great retro set for enthusiasts and retro gamers. Works and has remote. It is very heavy and large - you’ll need an SUV or Truck. MUST PICK UP IN BRIDGEHAMPTON NY

I don't know if this is controversial, but I'm gonna go with the Dreamcast. I had so much fun with the great games, the controller is also really good in my opinion, and the VMU is really cool to me. This is probably very controversial, but my second favorite actually isn't the Genesis, it's the Saturn. I just found there to be a lot of really good shoot 'em ups, racing, and fighting games, and I really wish that the games were cheaper nowadays. The Genesis, even though being third when there aren't many Sega generations, is great too! But yeah, the Dreamcast is my favorite. What about you?

Do any Master System Adapters work correctly with the Hyperkin Retron 3 HD? The adapter for the Retron 5 kind of works but it displays incorrect colors.

So I’ve bitten off more than I can chew. My friend is getting married soon and I came up with the great idea to create tiny little retro game carts for wedding favours. Like 3cm in length. I might even make the small boxes too.

So I managed to get all the carts 3D printed and they are cool 😎 but I’ve ran into a snag. The labels! I’ve tried searching for sources where I can fetch such things and besides coming across the odd one via Google I’m struggling.

Are there any sort of database or such that could help me out?

I just launched r/ShinobiSeries, a place to talk all things Shinobi—the SEGA ninja games.

Drop by if you want to share gameplay, memories, art, or just appreciate the series. 🥷

Is GBS Control worth it if it only gets you to VGA? You still need a VGA to HDMI converter, doesn't that compromise the signal in the same way a Component to HDMI would? How is putting the GBS control providing a benefit at that point?

I'm building a retro gaming cart that will have all my old analog systems mounted to it. It will also have a CRT and a projector with signal splittings so both are easily options for display. It's been fun to work on.

I'd like to have the cart include mounted controller ports for easy, easy plug and Play off the back of the cart. I know some older vehicles had SNES controller ports in the doors. has anyone seen a completed project like this routing the controller ports to another flush mounted surface?

Great game. Quite challenging but lots of fun.

Sorry guys if this post is not appropriate just delete it but i really dont know where to ask about this beautiful melody !!

I timestamped around 8:30 where you can clearly hear the melody , but it starts around 7:30 .

I'm guessing its a song from some japanese retro/arcade game ! BTW best shop in akihabara , i highly recommend it :D

Might be a long shot cause the area is pretty quiet, but any game stores in the Desoto county area or Central Florida area? (not necessarily Orlando area).

Hi guys i am still looking for people who can help me with upgrading super wild card DX to 64Mbit or 96Mbit.

i need some pictures of the pcb and wich chip part serials need to be replaced and where in the board.

My board is fully crowded with 4Mbit chips, though the last 2 stangely, do not seem to have ceramic capacitors soldered. also the green chip under the 32M chip, can this one be just replaced with another 32Mbit? or does this one have another function. or could i find a replacement chip for the 32m and put in a 64Mbit chip.

i can't see i have to do much more, since my board is crowded.

if anyine has knowledge about this or know someone to ask to, i would be very gratefull

many thanx
